Скачать или смотреть FOLKAL POINT Original 1972 UK MIDAS LP HOLY GRAIL FOLK LP Rarely Found £3500 Female Vocals

Released on the small `Midas Recordings` Record Label (only 16 releases) this has proved to be one of the `Holy Grails` of UK Folk Music released in 1972 in a single sleeve and containing several traditional folk cover versions I think its demand comes from the purity of the female vocals and the quality of the recording playing & production so much so that an original copy sold for £3500 in 2015 and this record still commands such high prices if found

Folkal Point are a folk and band from Bristol, England which was active throughout the early 1970s. The band formed in 1971 and released its debut studio album one year later in 1972 through the now defunct British label Midas Recordings, it included covers of compositions from; Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Joni Mitchell & Tom Paxton, it's a mixture of traditional English folk music and contemporary North American acoustic music. While the studio album was not a commercial success, having sold only 250 copies (a further 250 were lost to water damage following a fire at the record company), the record is now noted as a highly collectable example of the genre to this day. The sound engineer was label owner, Alan Green. Despite the limited number of units originally pressed in 1972, over the passing of time, the album became one of the most sought after British folk albums.
The band was a quartet composed of the following members: Cherie Musialik (lead vocals), Stuart Amesbury (guitar and vocals), Mark Steed (lead guitar, banjo and backing vocals), and Paul Cook (guitar and backing vocals).
Stuart Amesbury and Cherie Musialik have worked in a technical capacity with Led Zeppelin member John Paul Jones.
